Oldham RL 16, Dewsbury 20
OLDHAM RL went down to bottom-four rivals Dewsbury Rams in a close encounter at Bower Fold tonight.

Oldham led 12-6 at half-time with tries from Danny Grimshaw and Michael Ward. Scott Leatherbarrow kicked both goals.
Leatherbarrow notched two penalties in the second period, but Dewsbury added to their first-half try from Dale Morton when Aaron Ollett and Gareth Moore went in after the break.
Crucially, Paul Sykes landed four goals as the Rams condemned Scott Naylor's side to a seventh straight loss.
